| 63 | WIRELESS DATA INTERFACE WITH MULTIPLE, INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SOURCES | US13377992 | 2011-04-05 | US20120177382A1 | 2012-07-12 | James H. Steenson, JR.; Derek P. Janiak; Benjamin W. Brown |
| A plurality of optical transmission sources data provides data communication from a transmitting module to a common detector cooperative with a receiving module, the modules being subject to relative rotation about a shared axis. The detector can be located on the shared axis, each of the sources directing a beam onto the detector regardless of relative module orientation, and/or the light can be diffused, so that it is detected regardless of source and detector placement and relative module orientations. Transmissions can be distinguished according to synchronized timing, differing optical frequencies, differing baud rates, and/or differing circular polarizations. The detector can split the light into a plurality of beams which pass through different optical filters and are thereby distinguished. Cut-off circuits can prevent failed sources from transmitting. A diffused second light source and a second plurality of detectors can provide reverse communication from the receiving module to the transmitting module. | ||||||
| 64 | DIGITAL MULTIMETER HAVING REMOTE DISPLAY WITH AUTOMATIC COMMUNICATION BINDING | US12563004 | 2009-09-18 | US20110069961A1 | 2011-03-24 | Jeffrey C. Hudson; Nathaniel J. Wetzel; Glen Howard Vetter |
| An electrical test instrument comprising a base unit having a first communication address. A remote display unit separate from the base unit and having a second communication address is also provided. Communication circuitry is operative to provide electrical communication in a first RF mode between the base unit and the remote display unit as a bound communication pair based on the first and second communication addresses. The communication circuitry is further operative to operate selectively in a second secure communication mode. The first and second communication addresses are exchanged in the second secure communication mode to establish the bound communication pair for subsequent communication in the first RF mode. In some exemplary embodiments, the second communication mode is an optical communication mode (e.g., an IR communication mode). | ||||||
| 65 | Airborne infrared countermeasures systems and method for establishing an infrared communications link between airborne infrared countermeasures systems | US14707120 | 2015-05-08 | US09964633B1 | 2018-05-08 | James A. Freebersyser; Michael Joseph Geile |
| During flight, a military aircraft can use an infrared countermeasures (IRCM) system. The IRCM system can use a wide field of view sensor to detect a spectral signature of a missile and record a coarse estimate of the angular location of the missile. Upon such detection, the IRCM system can trigger a narrow field of view sensor to more finely determine the angular location of the missile. The narrow field of view sensor can emit infrared light toward the missile, which can confuse the guidance system of the missile and can help redirect the missile away from the aircraft. During time intervals when the narrow field of view sensor is not actively locating a missile, the IRCM system can use the narrow field of view sensor to form an infrared communications link with a corresponding narrow field of view sensor of a corresponding IRCM system of another aircraft. | ||||||

| An exemplary system for communicating data includes a light source that emits light and a processing device that receives and encodes data into a communication signal. A modulator modulates light emitted by the light source, wherein the modulation is imperceptible to the human eye, and the modulated light includes the encoded data. The modulation of the transmitted light is imperceptible to a human eye. A receiving device receives the modulated light and processes the light to decode the encoded signal and obtain the data. | ||||||

| Digital data is optically broadcast through an environment by controllably switching the brightness or chrominance of LED solid state lamps, or of other illumination sources (e.g., television screens and backlit computer displays). This optical data channel is useful to convey cryptographic key data by which devices within the environment can authenticate themselves to a secure network. In some embodiments, the optical modulation is sensed by the camera of a smartphone. The row data output by the smartphone's camera sensor is processed to extract the modulated data signal. In some monochrome embodiments, data communication speeds far in excess of the camera's frame rate (e.g., 30/second), or even the camera's row rate (e.g., 14,400/second) are achieved. Still greater rates can be achieved by conveying different data in different chrominance channels. A great number of other features and arrangements are also detailed. | ||||||

| A non-contact connector is the solving means that a plurality of new light sources discretely distributed over a circumferential direction are generated from one light source on a rotator, and the lining is performed as the new light source with the characteristic which are not in an original light source. At the time of rotation of the light source, at least one in two or more new light sources maintain connection with an external output terminal and switch the remaining new light sources, so an always-on connection state is secured and the hit of the time-axis of the line signal at the time of an optical path change is avoided. | ||||||

| 79 | Free-space optical mesh network | US14069464 | 2013-11-01 | US09270372B2 | 2016-02-23 | William J. Miniscalco |
| The disclosure provides a practical system and methods for implementing an adaptive free-space optical network with a high-connectivity, dynamic mesh topology. The network can have operational characteristics similar to those of RF mobile ad-hock networks. Each node has one or more optical terminals that may utilize space-time division multiplexing, which entails rapid spatial hopping of optical beams to provide a high dynamic node degree without incurring high cost or high size, weight, and power requirements. As a consequence the network rapidly sequences through a series of topologies, during each of which connected nodes communicate. Each optical terminal may include a plurality of dedicated acquisition and tracking apertures which can be used to increase the speed at which traffic links can be switched between nodes and change the network topology. An RF overlay network may be provided to act as a control plane and be used to provide node discovery and adaptive route planning for the optical network. | ||||||
| 80 | Infrared light means for remotely controlling devices on a rotating weapon assembly, without physical contact | US12984749 | 2011-01-05 | US09250040B1 | 2016-02-02 | James R. Bird; Aaron Barton; Michael Pottratz |
| The invention relates to remotely controlling a number of devices on an instrument mounted on a rotating assembly without physical contact to the assembly. A series of infrared light-emitting diodes mounted in a stationary ring configuration are placed around (but not directly touching) the rotating assembly to send control signals to infrared receiver devices located on the assembly. The rotating assembly might be the turret of a conventional Common Remotely Operated Weapons Station (CROWS), the invention to replace convention internal slip-ring providing power and control to a gun on the CROWS. The infrared data links of this invention do not inhibit the movement of the rotating assembly, and further are not susceptible to radio-jamming by electronic warfare countermeasures. Additionally, the invention includes a mount that allows auxiliary devices with Picatinny Rails™ to also be attached to such a CROWS turret. | ||||||
